Configuring Fast Hello Dual-Active Detection

Fast hello dual-active detection is enabled by default; however, you must configure dual-active interface
pairs to act as fast hello dual-active messaging links.

To configure fast hello dual-active detection, perform this task:

When you configure fast hello dual-active interface pairs, note the following information:

You can configure a maximum of four interfaces on each chassis to connect with the other chassis
in dual-active interface pairs.

Each interface must be directly connected to the other chassis and must not be a VSL link. We
recommend using links from a switching module not used by the VSL.

Each interface must be a physical port. Logical ports such as an SVI are not supported.

Configuring fast hello dual-active mode will automatically remove all existing configuration from
the interface and will restrict the interface to fast hello dual-active configuration commands.

Unidirectional link detection (UDLD) will be disabled on fast hello dual-active interface pairs.

This example shows how to configure an interface for fast hello dual-active detection:

Router(config)# switch virtual domain 255

Router(config-vs-domain)# dual-active detection fast-hello

Router(config-vs-domain)# exit

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/2/40

Router(config-if)# dual-active fast-hello

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# switch virtual domain domain_id

Enters the virtual switch submode.

Step 2

Router(config-vs-domain)# dual-active detection

fast-hello

Enables the fast hello dual-active detection method.
Fast hello dual-active detection is enabled by default.

Step 3

Router(config-vs-domain)# exit

Exits virtual switch submode.

Step 4

Router(config)# interface type

1

switch/slot/port

1.

type

= fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet

Selects the interface to configure. This interface must
be directly connected to the other chassis and must
not be a VSL link.

Step 5

Router(config-if)# dual-active fast-hello

Enables fast hello dual-active detection on the
interface, automatically removes all other
configuration from the interface, and restricts the
interface to dual-active configuration commands.

Step 6

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Activates the interface.
